Dictionary of the Ben Cao Gang Mu, Volume 2
The Ben cao gang mu, compiled in the second half of the sixteenth century by a team led by the physician Li Shizhen (1518–1593) on the basis of previously published books and contemporary knowledge, is the largest encyclopedia of natural history in a long tradition of Chinese materia medica works. Its description of almost 1,900 pharmaceutically used natural and man-made substances marks the apex of the development of premodern Chinese pharmaceutical knowledge. The Ben cao gang mu dictionary offers access to this impressive work of 1,600,000 characters. This second book in a three-volume series verifies and localizes all 2,158 geographical and associated administrative names referred to in the Ben cao gang mu in connection with the origin and use of pharmaceutical substances.

Immunological Aspects of Emerging and Re-emerging Zoonoses
Zoonosis is an infectious disease that has jumped from non-human animals to humans. To date, more than 200 known types of zoonoses have been identified, and 60% of emerging infectious diseases are zoonotic. It is estimated that zoonoses are responsible for 2.5 billion cases of human illness and 2.7 million human deaths worldwide each year, and 50-60% of the global population (5–6 billion) are projected to be at risk of zoonotic infections. Emerging and re-emerging zoonoses, such as monkeypox, Ebola, SARS, MERS, Zika, Rickettsia, and Mycobacteria, pose an immense and growing threat to global health, economy, and safety. As of September 26, 2022, there have been more than 600 million cases confirmed with COVID-19, and 6,514,397 deaths occurred due to this highly communicable disease. Identification of the immunological aspects of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses may facilitate the diagnosis, vaccine, and therapeutics development of emerging and re-emerging zoonoses.
Hydrogen-oxygen Inhalation For Treatment Of Covid-19: With Commentary From Zhong Nanshan
COVID-19 pneumonia is ravaging the world. Faced with the lack of specialized treatment, a novel form of hydrogen-oxygen inhalation therapy has been successfully developed. Molecular hydrogen, a very safe 'physiological gas', has proven to be able to reduce lung damage caused by viruses including COVID-19, improve dyspnea, and promote disease recovery due to its healing biological properties.This book details an innovative form of treatment from theory to practice, and comprehensively discusses the rationality of this new treatment for COVID-19 pneumonia. It is ideal not only for doctors, but also for the general public, as it provides new knowledge and effective treatment and rehabilitation methods to combat this highly infectious disease.
Discourses of Disease
The meanings of disease have undergone such drastic changes with the introduction of modern Western medicine into China during the last two hundred years that new discourses have been invented to theorize illness, redefine health, and reconstruct classes and genders. As a consequence, medical literature is rewritten with histories of hygiene, studies of psychopathology, and stories of cancer, disabilities and pandemics. This edited volume includes studies of discourses about both bodily and psychiatric illness in modern China, bringing together ground-breaking scholarships that reconfigure the fields of history, literature, film, psychology, anthropology, and gender studies by tracing the pathological path of the “Sick Man of East Asia” through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries into the new millennium.
Environmental Pollution in China
When Deng Xiaoping introduced market reforms in the late 1970s, few would have imagined what the next four decades would bring. China's GDP has grown on average nearly 10 percent annually since, and its economy is now the second largest in the world. Forty years ago, the Flying Pigeon bicycle ruled the roads; today, China is the world's largest car market. And if forty years ago you looked out across the Huangpu River from the Bund in Shanghai, you would have seen farmland and a few warehouses and wharves; now you see the stunning, futuristic cityscape of Pudong. The material progress of the past forty years has been staggering -- a source of pride for the Chinese people, as well as a source...
